A user facility reported an underperforming oxygenator during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ecmo) support that required exchange in less than 8 hours, with a second oxygenator having the same reported issue in less than 12 hours.Upon internal review, the user facility stated that 10 of 16 oxygenators required change out in under one week due to failure.Three of these kits have been accounted for, however, this is to capture the remaining 7 kits included in the customer complaint.Data is still being collected from the customer for review.This case reflects an event where a patient on veno-venous ecmo support experienced suboptimal oxygenation with a post-oxygenator arterial oxygen of 118 mmhg on (b)(6) 2026 requiring product exchange.There was no indication of patient serious injury.The complaint sample was not available for product investigation.
